wow, snarky, that was pretty snarky, but I agree.

rogueangel, I recall a lot of your explanations and view, but I'm afraid you're not going to win over a lot of wooters with bright chops that don't even try to blend in. I personally didn't mind the one on the leap year dragon; it was a pretty awesome design, but this is a little bit of an eyesore on an otherwise really neat design. Good luck in the future.

Hmm, just went in for 3 Randoms, when I haven't bought any shirts lately (although still checking frequently) so what are the chances of liking them!?! Oh well, couldn't pass up the mystery!
...a number of shirts on teetrade.com

Ha! Crazy to think that even light waves/particles freeze at that temperature. My aunt lives in Ottawa, and she talks aboot shoveling six feet of snow like it's nothing. Good bit 'o trivia: -40 is the same temp in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

And I would love for you to get that chance. I'm estimated in fourth right now, but not too far off (40-50 votes) to slide into third. I hate pandering like this, but I would really love any votes anyone can spare.

Man... Derbystats puts me at only three behind you at the moment. I'm guessing there's no way we can both make it, is there?

i know, this shirt really means nothing. canada was a hard theme. looking forward to the new theme tomorrow

Some of them make perfect sense to filter on any forum. Others woot has had to filter to get people to stop posting spam. But I have yet to figure out why there is a filter for N-a-z-i. Must be some weird history there.

I wonder why they had to filter that popular item... wouldn't it help promote that item?

Wow, they don't call you snarkygal for nothing, ;)

Seriously, though, I don't think the chop is a bad thing.

It doesn't bother me at all. Heck, we have so much ugliness on woot that it can get repetitive. The artist puts a sig on their design. Big deal.

The last few days have been horrible. I mean just fugalicious. That two legged sheep, the easter bear, tonights heads, the foo foo/ren & stimp rip off. I mean the list is endless. Random shirt offs are like waiting for a cancerous polyp to come in the mail. Joy.

If woot is going to apply the rule that you used another shirt to get an idea then they need to reject the Periodic table. Dmitri Mendeleev designed / developed that years ago so I would consider that a knock off as well.

Seattlejo wrote:Agreed, I've also seen many many shirts with polar bears and maple leaves, so how can the shirts in the fog not be rejected?

I loved this shirt.

Thanks you two... and to anyone else who was upset by this. I'll probably get this printed on my own once the 60 days are over. I thank you guys for being supportive.

Wwithout the title, I would not know it had to do with the Rideau Canal. And to be truthful, except for the "eau" at the end of Rideau, I would not necessarily associate this with Canada. (It could also be associated with Louisiana, but not much outdoor skating happens on ice there.)

Since the people are skating with a bridge in the background, I can surmise that they are skating on a river or canal. Since most rivers in the US do not get cold enough to freeze over, this would be more likely to be Canada. Or the Netherlands.

I did look up the Rideau Canal, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and also designated the world's largest Skating Rink. Thanks for posting this entry, or I may have never known this.
